New to Dufur School this year is "Playworks." With the help of a grant we have been able to implement the Playworks program in our school. Playworks helps elementary schools nationwide experience safe and healthy play. Playworks staff trained Dufur School staff to be recess coaches, and then our staff trained student coaches to create a culture of play during recess. Through play, the students discover the joy of being active, and learn skills that they can use in the classroom, the workplace and their whole lives!
